Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:38:40 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said he is very comfortable with the team's quarterback tandem of Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn. "I think we have a very good and very competitive quarterback situation. I really do. And it is what it is. You know what I mean? That's the situation we have. And I'm very comfortable with it," Pioli said.
Sun, 18 Mar 2012 01:30:06 -0700 The Kansas City Chiefs seemed like they wanted to add competition for QB Matt Cassel this offseason, but the signing of Brady Quinn is unlikely to provide that. Quinn has not played a regular season game during the past two seasons. He does, however, have history with head coach Romeo Crennel from their time together in Cleveland in 2007. Quinn does give the team some stability as a backup quarterback, an area the team has struggled at in recent seasons.
Fri, 24 Feb 2012 20:45:55 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (hand) has resumed throwing, and he has been throwing well. "He was throwing right as the season ended," general manager Scott Pioli said Friday, Feb. 24. "I don't know if he's 100 percent because I haven't seen him, but he's throwing well."
Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:42:52 -0800 Although the Kansas City Chiefs are looking for QB Matt Cassel to compete for the starting quarterback job in 2012, they want Cassel to be their guy and they think he will be the guy. New offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has worked with Cassel in the past and he is a believer in Cassel.
Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:16:01 -0800 For Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel, the addition of Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator means he will have his sixth different offensive coordinator in the last five seasons.
Sat, 04 Feb 2012 10:05:43 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has worked with QB Matt Cassel when both were with the New England Patriots.
Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:58:57 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli emphasized Thursday, Feb. 2, the need to bring in competition for QB Matt Cassel at starting quarterback. "What happens in free agency remains to be seen," Crennel said. "I know competition makes everybody better, and we'll just have to see what kind of competition we're going to have at the quarterback position." Pioli added the team could re-sign impending free-agent QB Kyle Orton.
Sat, 28 Jan 2012 20:19:34 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel and his wife helped alert a woman her house was on fire, and she escaped without injury or incident. Cassel's wife saw smoke and flames coming from the neighbor's chimney, and Cassel ran to this neighbor's house, pounded on the front door and started to circle the house until he saw the woman who lives there come outside.
Thu, 12 Jan 2012 06:21:30 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel said he isn't just assuming that he'll return as the starter in 2012, and that he's ready to compete to earn the starting job. "There's competition every year," Cassel said. "If you play this position, there's always competition. You're competing against yourself, you're competing against somebody else. Whoever they bring in, you always compete and you always have to go out and try to get better."
Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:12:29 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (hand) expects to be healthy for the start of next season after breaking his right hand this year. "I don't believe so," said Cassel, who had missed only two games his first two seasons with the Chiefs. "It's healed up quite nicely so far. I've got all the range of motion back and all of those things." The team hasn't given an indication that they will re-sign QB Kyle Orton to compete with Cassel in training camp.
Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:52:42 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Kyle Orton led the team to a win in Week 15 over the previously unbeaten Green Bay Packers, making the organization's decision on what to do at the position that much more difficult. "If we win these next two games with him, and he continues to play the way he did today, then you might have to say that (Orton is the future)," interim head coach Romeo Crennel said Sunday, Dec. 18. Orton is a free agent after this season and QB Matt Cassel would be heading into the fourth season of a $63 million contract. The team could also sign someone from outside the organization, or draft a high-profile QB, but Orton is trying to make the decision a little more difficult.
Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:44:48 -0800 The Kansas City Chiefs have placed QB Matt Cassel (hand) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2011 season. In a corresponding move, the team signed practice squad WR Jeremy Horne to their active roster.

"We're all very encouraged with Ricky. He's the type of guy you want playing quarterback," Haley said. "We're all encouraged with Ricky Stanzi and the development and progress he's made."
Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:49:30 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (hand) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 17.
Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:13:53 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (hand) underwent surgery to fix his injured right hand Wednesday, Nov. 16, but is still holding out hope for a return this year. The team has not put Cassel on the Injured Reserve.
Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:41:53 -0800 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel's (hand) hand injury is more serious than initially believed and may miss the rest of the season because of the injury. Head coach Todd Haley said the injury is significant and that Cassel will need surgery.

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:27:31 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel will meet the San Diego Chargers in Week 8 at Arrowhead Stadium. He broke through for two touchdown passes in Week 3 in San Diego, but has generally struggled in his career against the AFC West Division rivals. Cassel has thrown for 200 yards just once in five starts against the Chargers, and that came when he was a member of the New England Patriots in 2007. He has five TDs and six INTs against San Diego in five career starts.
Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:46:39 -0700 The Kansas City Chiefs won in Week 7 against the Oakland Raiders, but it has little to do with QB Matt Cassel.

"No doubt in my mind," Cassel said. "I feel good. I feel like I'm ready to go." He was injured in the preseason finale last week, and he indicated that he might not be at full strength Sunday.

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 13:18:30 -0700 If the Kansas City Chiefs do indeed lose second-year TE Tony Moeaki (knee) for the season, it will be a devastating blow to the offense. Moeaki was a favorite target last year of QB Matt Cassel and the Chiefs do not have another reliable pass-catcher at the position on roster. Moeaki hauled in 47 passes as a rookie. The Chiefs would likely be forced to start TE Leonard Pope and likely need to find additional help to the position elsewhere.
Fri, 02 Sep 2011 06:43:42 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (shoulder) left the team's preseason finale after getting sacked. Cassel's right shoulder was driven into the ground. He left the game immediately and did not return; however, the injury is not believed to be serious.
Mon, 29 Aug 2011 01:06:03 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley is looking for the team to find success on offense.

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 03:27:10 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel was six for 14 passing Friday, Aug. 19, against the Baltimore Ravens, throwing for 73 yards. The Kansas City offense has struggled in each of their last two preseason games.
Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:18:26 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel had ups and downs during training camp. He looked better tossing to familiar targets like WR Dwayne Bowe than he did with newcomers like WR Steve Breaston. Cassel said he feels the team is moving in the right direction, but said they are still learning a lot about their team. Due to the lockout, they didn't have time in the offseason to experiment so they are having to work that into training camp now, working with different personnel groups. "From one day to the next, it's different. One day you can be completely on and feel great about how the day went, and there's other days when you're trying new stuff or you're not as sharp as you'd like to be," Cassel said.
Fri, 17 Jun 2011 07:21:57 -0700 The Kansas City Chiefs concluded three days of practice Thursday, June 16, with roughly 45 players attending. The workouts were organized by QB Matt Cassel, SS Jon McGraw and LB Derrick Johnson. The team got together at a local high school.
Fri, 03 Jun 2011 13:12:59 -0700 Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said he expects quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn to help QB Matt Cassel and the other quarterbacks on the roster develop. Haley believes Zorn can really help QB Tyler Palko because both are left-handed.
